Facts and Artifacts in the Evaluation of the Anti-diabetic Activity of Spent Hop Extract in Rat Hearts in the“Experimental Model of Diabetes” : Table 5

Table 5: Effect of spent hop extract on glycated hemoglobin (HbA_1c) in non-diabetic (healthy) rats and STZ-diabetic rats.
Data are given as mean ± SD; n=9-20 animals.
^aStatistical significance vs. non-diabetic rats, estimated with the post-hoc multiple comparisons Tukey's test following one-way ANOVA; P< 0.01.
